The RT-2 Experiment, a low energy gamma-ray telescope, onboard CORONAS-PHOTON satellite is designed to study the temporal, spectral and spatial properties of the hard X-ray solar flares mainly in the energy range of 15 - 100 keV, which is extendable upto 1000 keV. During the operational period of ~ 9 months, it has been able to detect a few solar flares and at least four Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). In this paper, we discuss the properties of the GRBs as observed by RT-2 in the energy band of 15 to ~ 1000 keV. We will present the results of spectral and timing properties of the GRBs (specially for the GRB 090618) using RT-2 detectors. Temporal analysis suggests that all four GRBs belong to the category of long duration bursts.
